Membranes on calibrations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make the observation that the constraints required for the consistency of these solutions are automatic in Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson (BLG) theory, thanks to the fundamental identity and the supersymmetry of the calibration.
Journal ArticleDOI

String field theory solution for any open string background

TL;DR: In this article, a new analytic solution in Witten's open bosonic string field theory which can describe any open string background was proposed. But it requires leaving the familiar subalgebra of wedge states with insertions, and the payoff is that the solution makes no assumptions about the reference and target D-brane systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relevant deformations in open string field theory: a simple solution for lumps

TL;DR: In this article, a cubic open string field theory is proposed to describe inhomogeneous tachyon condensation in the RG-flow generated by integrating a relevant operator with mild enough OPE on the boundary.

Topics in String Field Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a review of bosonic string field theory is concentrated on two main subjects: the construction of the three string vertex and the solution of the VSFT equation of motion for the matter part.
Journal ArticleDOI

Connecting solutions in open string field theory with singular gauge transformations

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that any pair of classical solutions of open string field theory can be related by a formal gauge transformation defined by a gauge parameter U without an inverse.
